Description

Currently, when I select an album, artist, or playlist using Android Auto, I'm taken to a list of songs. To start playing music, I have to select a specific song. It would be more convenient if Android Auto could automatically play the first song in the list.

Problem solved

I'm always frustrated when I have to take my eyes off the road to turn on the music in Android Auto. It would be safer if the app could automatically start playing music when I select an album, artist, or playlist.

Other implementations

YouTube Music starts playing immediately, I think Spotify does the same thing.

Benefit

Enhanced safety: Fewer interactions with the screen mean less time spent looking away from the road.
Improved user experience: A more intuitive and efficient interface can make driving less stressful.
Quicker access to music: Users can start listening to music faster, reducing the time it takes to get into their desired listening experience.
Reduced cognitive load: Fewer decisions to make while driving can help reduce mental fatigue.

For some reason Android Auto doesn't allow you to choose whether to play or enter an item, either it's playable or explorable. I guess this is best as a setting, since some (me, mostly) like exploring a music tree, at least until Android Auto decides to handle media trees correctly.
